Hi Andreas, I'd love to interview you sometime about addiction. Sounds like you have a strong perspective and are comfortable sharing your story. I'm still rebuilding things so I won't be launching my media production company for another year or so but I'll probably reach out on Twitter someday ;)

#22>I chose the name SerenityOS because I wanted to always remember the Serenity Prayer. Whats with operating systems and religion
I suspect you have 1 other example. How many can you come up with that have nothing to do with religion?
The one other example is obviously either FreeBSD, whose mascot is a demon, or OSX, which itself is a religion. ;)

#25Andreas is the best part about this project. He's just _nice_. He's a good person. It makes me want to contribute and work with him because I feel like I'll learn from him.
Too many elite programmers are total jerks!

#27I'm curious, how can someone implement device drivers (without knowing hardware details.) for a self-made OS like this?
It seems to only target very commonly ported and generally understood hardware, and not many things. 32bit Intel, no arm. Bochs VBE and Intel graphics, e1000 and rtl8192 nics. They're very sensible targets as they'll let you run with event performance on most virtual machine platforms as they're commonly emulated and mature.

You need to be pretty smart to write an OS, and only dumb people and smart people are religious. Atheism is the belief for mediocre minds. ;)

Usually hobby OS developers only write drivers for well documented hardware like the e2k

#30Brilliant, hopefully Rust can come to SerenityOS quicker than we thought.
Huzzah!
